The Dahm Tribes Disavow The Suspicious Gatherings In Al-Rayyan And Reveal A New Saudi Conspiracy Targeting Yemen.
The repercussions of the statement issued by the Yemeni Dahm tribes, the largest tribes in Al-Jawf Governorate, including Hamdan, Dhu Hussein, Bani Nawf, and Al-Ashraf, on July 1, 2026, go beyond a mere denial of tribal representation. It reveals deeper dimensions of a scheme that exploits fabricated issues to serve dubious political agendas. At a time when regional tensions are escalating, the Dahm statement comes to put an end to the ambiguities surrounding the Al-Rayyan gatherings, confirming that the case of Sumaya Al-Zubairi, who claims to be Saddam Hussein’s daughter, is nothing but a forgery documented in court since 2022. This revelation opens the door to questions about the true objectives of the parties supporting these gatherings, foremost among them the Saudi Special Committee and the Islah Party, in a clear attempt to employ a fabricated tribal card to undermine stability, and to exploit a fabricated issue to destabilize social security and block roads used by travelers, the sick, and expatriates.
A proactive and decisive step
In a proactive and decisive move to thwart attempts at deception and instability, the ancient Yemeni tribes of Dahm issued a strong and detailed statement at the beginning of this week. The statement, issued by tribal sheikhs and elders, not only denied tribal representation of the gatherings taking place in the Al-Rayyan area, but also unraveled the threads of what it described as a “conspiracy” that exploits a false issue to serve foreign political agendas. It indicated that those present in Al-Rayyan, including the so-called Hamad Fadgham, do not represent the Dahm tribes, but are tools of the Saudi Special Committee, accusing them of participating in acts of looting, robbery, and road blockades, and holding the Saudi regime responsible for any chaos or bloodshed that may result from these gatherings.
The truth about Saddam Hussein’s daughter and the identity forgery
At the heart of the statement was the explicit revelation of the truth about the issue that the Al-Rayyan groups are using as a pretext. The Dahm tribes, after closely monitoring the situation and its developments, confirmed that the claims related to the so-called Sumaya Al-Zubairi that she is the daughter of the late Iraqi President Saddam Hussein are pure forgery and impersonation of Saddam Hussein’s daughter for the purpose of illicit gain. This claim was not merely suspicion, but the statement was based on irrefutable legal facts. It explained that judicial rulings issued by the judiciary since 2022 against the so-called Sumaya Al-Zubairi and her husband proved this forgery. These judicial rulings, which date back years, put an end to any attempt to exploit this issue to incite sedition or mislead public opinion.
The statement confirmed that a number of Dahm sheikhs followed up on the case in Sana’a while Hamad Fadgham and Sumaya Al-Zubairi were present, and it became clear to them beyond any doubt that the whole case was a forgery operation. Based on these facts, the so-called Sumaya Al-Zubairi was handed over to her family consisting of her father, brothers, husband and son, who acknowledged the facts before the Dahm tribes, thus ending any controversy about the legitimacy of her claims.
External fingers manipulate the threads of chaos
The statement of the Dahm tribes did not neglect to point out the political dimensions of these gatherings, directing accusations to regional and local parties of being behind them. The statement stated that “the Islah Party rode the wave and the Saudi Special Committee is present and supporting the gathering, the cutting off, the looting and plundering of innocent travelers in the occupied areas.” This explicit accusation links the Al-Rayyan gatherings to agendas aimed at destabilizing security and chaos, exploiting a false tribal card.
The statement indicated that “these venues belong to known party members and suspicious elements involved in promoting entertainment, supported by the military and security formations affiliated with the mercenaries of the aggression, under the supervision, support, and funding of the Saudi regime.” The statement also held Hamad Fadgham responsible for misleading public opinion and the tribes in the name of the Dahm tribe, claiming that Sumaya al-Zubairi had joined Dahm and was claiming to be Saddam Hussein’s daughter,” which confirms that there is a clear attempt to exploit the name of the venerable tribe to achieve private goals.
Tribal customs and national stance: a firm rejection of chaos.
In affirming its commitment to authentic tribal values and customs, the Dahm tribes stressed their categorical rejection of any “blocking or cutting off of the public road,” and considered these actions “contrary to the customs, traditions, ancestors, and norms of the Dahm
